Ingredients
1 lb ground hamburger meat
1/2 lb sausage, crumbled
1/2 lb pepperoni, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can pizza dough (or homemade dough)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the hamburger and sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the meat mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onions soften.
- Stir in the pizza sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Roll out the pizza dough and line the bottom and sides of a deep pie dish with it.
- Layer the cooked meat mixture on top of the dough.
- Add a layer of sliced pepperoni on top of the meat mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the pie.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a rustic look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or heat the whole pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- Variations: Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for a Mediterranean twist, or use hot Italian sausage for extra heat.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free pizza dough for those with gluten sensitivity.
- You can freeze the pie before baking. Wrap it tightly and store for up to 3 months. Increase baking time by 10-15 minutes when baking from frozen.
